Chelsea Handler is giving fans an update after she was hospitalized for an unspecified health scare Friday.
Handler, 46, shared the update via her Instagram Story Saturday after she had to cancel multiple shows on her "Vaccinated & Horny" tour. The video she posted revealed that she has left the hospital and that her boyfriend, Jo Koy, was by her side.
"OK, everybody, I'm safe and sound. Everything's OK," she said in the video with a sheet mask on her face.
"I'm just gonna chill out for a couple of weeks to recover because my buddha came and rescued me. Right, buddha?" she added while focusing the camera on her beau, who assured her fans that "she's good."
"Yes, I'm good and I'll be back on track in no time," Handler continued.
In a subsequent post, Handler thanked everyone who reached out to her regarding her health and sent her "sweet" messages.
Handler previously apologized to fans in a video uploaded to her Instagram Story Friday for having to cancel multiple shows in Oregon due to a health scare. In the clip, she assured her fans that she has rescheduled the dates.
"I am so sorry I had to cancel my shows tonight in Portland and my show in Eugene," Handler said from her hospital bed. "I had a scare at the hospital, and I don't have COVID, and I'm OK, but I had to reschedule my shows."
She continued, "So, I just wanted to say that, and I will see you all when I see you, and I'm sorry that I had to cancel. But I'm all OK. And I'm not pregnant."
Handler also made a separate Instagram post announcing that she was canceling her shows due to "unforeseen circumstances."
Her Friday show at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts in Eugene, Oregon, has been pushed to March 4. Her Saturday shows at the Keller Auditorium in Portland have been rescheduled for March 5, according to the announcement.
Fans were reminded to hold on to their tickets as all tickets for the original performance will be honored.
"Chelsea is deeply saddened to have to cancel tonight's and tomorrow's Portland and Eugene shows and looks forward to giving you a spectacular show in the near future," the caption read.
Handler made her relationship with Koy, 50, Instagram official in September last year. The pair first met nearly 20 years ago after being introduced by a mutual friend. Koy later appeared on Handler's E! talk show "Chelsea Lately."
In November 2021, Handler gushed over her boyfriend in an Instagram post, saying Koy had "renewed her faith in men." She wrote, "Do you know how hot it is to have a man be turned on by my honesty, strength and confidence?"
